The posting

The Agreements Manager is a strategic member of the Technology Development and Industry Engagement (TDIE) department responsible for advancing St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's research, innovation, and technology commercialization objectives through the development, negotiation, and management of complex research and intellectual property agreements. This role plays a critical part in enabling scientific collaboration while safeguarding institutional interests, ensuring researchers have the contractual infrastructure necessary to pursue transformative discoveries that support the St. Jude mission of finding cures and saving children.

Serving as a trusted partner to investigators, institutional leaders, and external collaborators, the Agreements Manager oversees a diverse portfolio of agreements that facilitate research partnerships, technology transfer activities, intellectual property management, and industry engagement.
